Double Tap Root Beer

Overview

In the First Room

Four map books of the Hub put Double Tap within reach doors closed, all of them in Black Ops II or in its remaster of Origins. Two are machines; on Origins it is a reward.

Two more books leave the door open without naming it: on Nuketown, in co-op, any of the five machines can land in the street, and in the past era of Paradox Junction the spot behind the School Bus holds a random machine. On Der Eisendrache the book places Double Tap in the Lower Courtyard, past a gate that costs 750 points. Every First Room board, map by map, is on the leaderboards.

Double Tap: World at War and Black Ops

The original raises the rate of fire of every weapon by 33%. Bolt-action rifles and pump-action shotguns cycle faster, semi-automatic weapons can be fired faster, and equipment such as Claymores is laid down faster. The wiki warns that it can drain ammunition at an alarming rate. Its icon shows two bullets in flight.

Double Tap II: Black Ops II and Black Ops III

Double Tap II, or Double Tap 2.0, raises the rate of fire less than the original but doubles the damage of every round fired by a projectile weapon, without the recoil penalty of the first version. Most Wonder Weapons and all explosives only get the rate of fire; the Blundergat is one of the exceptions. In Black Ops II, a weapon fired from the hip shoots two bullets for the price of one; in Black Ops III the damage of each bullet is simply doubled. The icon turns orange and shows one bullet splitting in two. Every Zombies Chronicles map uses this version.

Double Tap: Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7

The base perk goes back to the original: a faster rate of fire and nothing else. The icon now shows two handguns side by side. Several Augments bring double damage back in part, but the wiki notes that the full effect of Double Tap 2.0 cannot be rebuilt with them. Neither Black Ops 4 nor Black Ops Cold War has the perk.
